(No idea
when)
It has been
a while ago that I wrote, sorry about that. We’re in the airplane again. Just
had Seoul, for seven houres. But first the last days (if I listen to my
biological clock):
Four days
ago: After the house with the forest we went to an alpaca farm. If you don't
know what an a alpaca is, it is some kind of lama. Many people in NZ have them.
It was really a big place. We did just some calm days.

The dag
before Yesterday: We had an apartment in Auckland. And I must say, after the
other Airbnb’s it was crazy small. I had (...)

Four days
ago we woke up at Mt Egmont. After the hiking we drove to cape Egmont. We
walked to a lighthouse, and that was the day.
Three days
ago we came to a high hill you could climb. It was fun. My father was a little
bit afraid, but I was only enjoying and saying he really should watch the view.
Then we drove to Egmont village. The only thing we did there was taking a
picture, and no, I spelled it right: Egmont.
That day we also said goodbye to the Tasman Sea and her black beaches. My mother
said the view reminded her (...)

Yesterday
we were at mount Egmont. We climbed it for some time, and it was really
exhausting. We had great views dough; we saw lots of forests, the sea and even
snow. We weren’t able to go to the snow dough; it was a hard way coming there.
But I heard that it was snowing in Holland. We have to climb for it, and you
just have it, unfair... Anyway, enjoy the snow, and don't throw iceballs at
eechother.

Three days ago we arrived in
Wanganui. The journey to there was interesting. We wanted to go to there
directly, but we saw a windmill with a Dutch market in it. Someone from Heiloo
made it and copied the mill of Piet of Alkmaar. We talked to his son. Strange,
you go to the other side of the world, and then you visit something you also
have at home.

After the windmill we went to
Wanganui without stops. We went to the house of Gert, the cousin of my father.
In NZ his name is Gerry, because they can’t say the G. We also met his (...)

The day
before yesterday we drove Arthurs Pass back to show it to my grandfather. We
had lunch at a campsite. We had been there before, but also only for lunch.
There were lots of ducks, begging for food. I don't speak duck-language, but it
was very clear. If ducks run around you, and start yelling, most of the time
they want food.
Yesterday
we went to the pancake rocks. Again. And again, unfortunately the blowholes
didn't work. We didn't did knife making again, if you want to know. We were
also at Old ghost road. It leads to a gold miners village. We didn’t went (...)

Today we
were on a boat. We went to Doubtful Sound, which is one of the places in NZ you
can’t come with a car. Captain Cook gave the name, because he didn’t dare to
sail in, because he doubted if he would be able to sail out again. We were on the
water for an hour, then we were in a touring car and we drove to another boat,
over a road that cost one dollar a centimetre, and it was twenty-six kilometres
long. We were on that for a few hours. We saw waterfalls, penguins, water,
trees and had beautiful views, but this (...)

Yesterday
we had Sinterklaas. It was different than I am used to, but it was fun. Did
everybody in Holland have a nice day? I hope so. We did a game with it.
Everyone bought four presents of five dollars that everybody liked. We threw
dices, one was taking a present, two was giving one, three was answering a
question, and so on. At the end, everyone was happy. I had a book, two owls, a necklace
and a dvd.
Now we’re
driving to Milford Sound. That is an amazing route to impressive fjords. My
neck hurts, so I am not sitting in the cabin, but on (...)

(4 Dec.)The day before yesterday we picked up my grandfather in Christchurch. Yesterday we went stargazing with him. We started at ten pm, and that is late... The tour was fun. We could look threw telescopes ourself and had a great guide. Someone said that if we could ask him something and if he didn't knew the awnser, we would get our money back. I tried it, but I failed...

Today we went to mout John. There they have the biggest telescope of New Zealand. There was great view. To come there you must drive a tolway, of eight dollars a (...)

(1 Dec.)Yesterday we were in Kaikoura. We went kajaking with a group. I was in a kajak with my father. First there was a lot of instruction, for safety, cool paddle waving and hou to put that stupid skirt on! Long story short, everyone needed to wear a skirt for safety, so you could lock yourself to the kajak. We saw lots of seals, and a bird who looked like a penguin. It is probably the most photographed bird in New Zealand. It was really a lot of fun.

Yesterday we went to a pool. In the rain. There was warm
water, cold water, super warm water and also slides. For one you needed a band.
There was a huge bowl in it, like one in Tikibad. If you were lucky, the band
turned around, so you went backwards to it. Also, ever tried to put four foam
seaturtles on eechother and stand on it? No? Probably your parents don’t want
you to, my parents didn’t want me to do it.
After a few days of pouring rain today it finaly was dry and
sunny. We drove a beutiful route threw the mountains. At the (...)
